She first studied at the Conservatory of Toulouse, then took singing lessons from Rondile and Lhérie in Paris.

She also appeared at the Teatro Liceo in Barcelona in Aida and performed in several Italian theaters.

In 1906, she performed at La Scala, taking on the role of Donna Anna in Don Giovanni. She likely sang in Buenos Aires, Havana, and Mexico City as well. Sadly, she died in a tragic accident in a hotel in Calais while preparing to travel to England. Her husband was the distinguished French baritone Henri Berriel.
